South Africa's state power utility Eskom reported a second consecutive year of profitability despite ongoing challenges from weak electricity sales and significant unpaid municipal debt, which continue to cloud its financial outlook.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

State utility profitability opens budget room but unpaid municipal debts threaten stability. If you work in South African energy or municipal services, prepare for tighter collaboration and risk management around payments.
